SLICK Ver 2.0
Slick is simplicity itself; everything you basically need to enjoy
Tellecommunication. Slick requires the use of DSZ Zmodem external
protocol to enable the Xmodem/Ymodem and Famouse Zmodem features.
If you continue to use the DSZ package supplied by the same BBS
you downloaded SLICK from; you are required to register it with its
author. You are hereby granted a limited license to use SLICK for
the next thirty days; at which time you are required to send your
$10 registration to continue operating SLICK Terminal.The advantages
of Registration are 1) You become a Real SLICK Operator. 2) You
will be entitled to telephone support at no charge. 3). You will
receive the Advanced Slick Terminal without the sign on advertise-
ment and of course you will be eligible for all future upgrades at
nominal cost of postage and handling. The Demonstration version is
fully operational and NOT cripple ware.
There are several Mini Terminal Programs around but only one Slick !
Why use Slick ?. FIRST, Slick is entirely self contained (except
for DSZ) and self starting for all Hayse Compatable Modems. This
means there are no configure files or other data files to manage.
SECOND, Slick is under 55K. This means you can run it from a system
with only ONE FLOPPY and limited RAM. (and I know there are a lot
of you guys out there). Slick is functional with any IBM or Clone
CPU running PC/MS-DOS 2.0 or better. Using a regular 360k floppy
with the operating system installed you are still left with over
200k for download space !!!!!. THIRD, Its the only affordable
terminal on the market that really delivers the features that
new operators want. And, It works right out the box with no configure
files to hassle with other than setting your own Macros. PLUS, if
wish to operate off a Hard Drive, SLICK can be called via a DOS Path
statement from ANY location in your directories.
After the opening screen you should see the following responses
from the modem indicating all is OK and ready to operate.
ATZ
OK
AT/L7M1F1S12=0S11=70V1X4S2=128S0=2
OK
Please Note you can change the Inital Command String that comes
pre- installed: (AT/L7M1F1S12=0S11=70V1X4S2=128S0=2), to meet your
particular requirments. This String MUST however reside in the
F10 Macro as SLICK looks for it there only. Otherwise, if you
wish to MANUALLY key in your specific modem instructions you
could place an AT dial command in Macro Shft F10 and SLICK would
AUTOMATICALLY dial that number first on BOOTUP. This might be
nice for a BBS you call OFTEN.
Onward..........

Slick was written in Pascal 5.0 code that produces very tight run time
modules as well as various assembler routines that provide optimum
speed of execution. I wrote it to teach myself the art of low level
programming as well as learn the basics. I hope you enjoy SLICK as
much as I enjoyed writing it. If you discover any BUGS please report
them immediately.
Finally, I wish to thank Terry Tekippe (my assembler instructor),
and Michael Perry of the Dungeon BBS in New Orleans for all their
helpful input.
